Find an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence 12, 5, -2, -9,...

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

an = 12 -7(n-1)

an = 19-7n

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1 +d(n-1) where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference

a1 =12

We find d by taking the second term and subtracting the first term

d = 5-12

d = -7

an = 12 -7(n-1)

We can simplify this

an = 12 -7n+7

an = 19-7n

A plane travels at a speed of 205mph in still air. Flying with a tailwind, the plane is clocked over a distance of 975 miles. Fl
irakobra [83]

Answer:

T1 = 975 / (205 + V)         flying with wind

T2 = 975 / (205 - V)         flying against wind

T2 = T1 + 2

975 * {1 / (205 - V) - 1 / (205 + V)] = 2

(205 + V + V -205) / (205^2 - V^2) = 2 / 975

V^2 + 975 V - 42025 = 0          rearranging

V = 41.3

Values of flying are  246.3 and 163.7

Check:  

T1 = 975 / 246.3 = 3.96 hrs

T2 = 975 / 163.7 = 5.96 hrs

1/sin30 - √3/cos10 =4 prove it?​
Crank

Step-by-step explanation:

1/sin10-√3/cos10

= (cos10 - √3sin10)/cos10sin10

multiplying 1/2 in denominator and numerator

= {(cos10/2) - (√3sin10/2)}/(cos10sin10/2)

= (cos60cos10 - sin60sin10)/(cos10sin10/2)

= cos(60 + 10)/(cos10sin10/2)

= cos70/(cos10sin10/2)

= 2cos70/cos10sin10

multiplying 2 on numerator and denominator

= 4cos70/2sin10cos10

=4cos70/sin20

=4cos70/cos70

= 4  proved

A cellular telephone tower that is 150 feet tall is placed on top of a mountain that is 1200 feet above sea level. What is the a
sveta [45]

Answer:

angle of depression = 2.1⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile = 5280 ft

Hence angle of depression = 90 - ∅

Where ∅ is angle of depression

Tan ∅ = (5 x 5280)/ 950

∅ = Tan₋¹ (27.789474) = 87.9⁰

Hence angle of depression = 90 - 87.9 = 2.1⁰

A hiker discovers a skull that contains 41% of its original amount of C-14. Find the age of the skull to the nearest year
snow_tiger [21]
We need the half-life of C-14 which is 5,730 years.
Now, we will need a half-life equation:
elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / ending amt) / log 2
We'll say beginning amount = 100 and ending amount = 41
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (100/41) / log 2
elapsed time = 5,730 * log ( <span> <span> <span> 2.4390243902 </span> </span> </span> ) / 0.30102999566
elapsed time = 5,730 * 0.38721614327 / 0.30102999566
elapsed time = <span> <span> </span></span><span><span><span>5,730 * 1.2863041851 </span> </span> </span>
<span>elapsed time = 7,370.523 years
